Weiyu (Sophia), Shi- Intership Poster

Aecon Group Inc. is a prominent Canadian construction and infrastructure development company. Aecon is committed to sustainability in what we build and how we build it, as we continue moving forward with a strategic focus on decarbonizing energy systems in support of a net zero future. 

The poster briefly summarized my role as a sustainability coordinator at Aecon Group Inc., including my work on developing a double materiality assessment work plan for the sustainability team to guide the future implementation of double materiality assessment, in compliance with the European Financial Reporting Advisory Group (EFRAG) standard. Besides, I worked on delivering feasible anti-idling solutions to the team leader to assist in decision-making in sustainability.  The work involves displaying the current idling practices at Aecon, estimating fuel and emission savings that Aecon could expect by implementing a few effective anti-idling technologies recommended, and an expected return on investment within timeframes. 

Lastly, the poster highlights the skills and knowledge I developed based on the experience, and key takeaways both for myself and all other sustainability professionals.
